Not sure if I've done something incorrect when doing a fresh install of 8.4.1. With master backend setup and 3 tuners.I followed the install guide and set the passwords etc. When exiting the MythTV setup for the first time it came up with the message:"Path /data/storage/WDCWD5000AAKS-00A7B0_WD-WMASY6720326/media/photos doesn't exist" and others like it. "Do you want to go back and fix these problems"How do I fix these problems? Why are they there?

Also the date and time is wrong in the menu system and so is the EPG. The time is correct in the Bios and the the correct time zone has been set in the install.If I select "Watch live TV" in the menu it just puts up on the screen for half a second "Please wait" but it does not go into live tv.

I can manually record TV and playback the recorded video and I can also see the EPG. I can also use Mythweb.

One thing I noticed on my current system (running 7.4) when looking at the Backend status:Disk Usage Details:

Using the same hardware I have reinstalled LinHES 8.4.1 I used the no splash option in case I saw some errors.

This time the time zone was automatically selected for my area I didn't have to do it myself like last time and once installed the date and time were correct.

It still came up with 2 errors: Path /data/storage/WDCWD5000AAKS-00A7B0_WD-WMASY6720326/media/photos doesn't exist Path /data/storage/WDCWD5000AAKS-00A7B0_WD-WMASY6720326/media/music doesn't existwhen exiting the setup for the first time and everytime after that.

Also live TV did not work like last time but I got it to work by removing all Capture cards and input sources. For some reason there was one demo file already there? not sure what for? Once I removed it and added my 3 tuners I could then watch Live TV. Although I could not get sound it came up with an error saying no such file or directory. That does not worry me too much as I wont be using the front end on this machine.

Are this issues I'm have an install bug? With my brief time running R8 it is so good, I like all the improvements that have been made I appreciate all the hard work that has been done.

I don't know how installing without the splash should have affected the timezone issue you saw. Odd. What video card are you using?

This was a clean install correct? Did you do a restore from backup at any point? How many HDs are in the box? The errors about media/photos and media/music indicate that those directories didn't get created on install. If this was an upgrade photos missing could be possible as that is new with myth .28 but since the entry is in the db it should have been created on the disk as well. What is in the file /etc/storage.d/WDCWD5000AAKS-00A7B0_WD-WMASY6720326.conf? If all else looks well you can just manually create them or use

Code:

sudo add_storage.py --reconstruct_sg

A clean install puts a demo tuner and source in the db as the backend won't start without a tuner and source connected to the tuner. My guess is that Live TV was selecting the demo tuner and that is why it was failing for you. As you found deleting it (or just disabling) the demo tuner fixed it.

I just saw something similar from my three installs, before applying the saved backups. It seems that some of the default directories are pointed to "/data/storage/disk0..." but two are pointed to "/data/storage/KINGblahblahblah..." (the long name of the drive share instead of the symbolic link disk0).

Maybe the script is looking at the wrong thing when the directories are created in storage.py? Just guessing here as I haven't even looked at the python code.

I did not explore further as we were using a backed-up configuration and it did not matter to us.

The only SG default that should have disk0 is a DBBackup. The rest should have the disk names.

I was able to track down the issue of the missing photos and musicart and have fixed it. For others that may run into the issue it can be fixed with
